The problems are because Steemit is nothing to do with content, its only about making money. The more cash you have to invest, the more you make. The content thing is what whales tell plankton so they keep posting and keep making them richer.

Exactly. This is the problem of scalability (development) of the Steemit platform. To read (consume)its content is not interesting. Because it's mostly just trash. Therefore, the audience will not increase. Especially the reading audience. And without an audience, monetization, and the normal healthy functioning is impossible.
It was crippled from the start because to have a decent social media site you need to have people have the ability to choose content they want to see. Steem was never distributed "fairly" from its inception and the majority of it never went to entities that are interested in distributing the voting power outwards. Out of all the "curators" who receive delegations only surpassinggoogle retained his because he actually curated others.
I am assuming that people that care about content and a large userbase are just waiting to see if the scaling issues can be worked out on a technical level, at which point they will fork the project and try to distribute the coins in a sensible manner. And if that fails, just keep trying again and again and hopefully some team with the right know-how will distribute in a sensible manner that allows the platform to flourish.
Are you conceding your plan @omfedor? I thought you had a plan to grow the economy. I'm a bit baffled.
Steemit may not have an 'audience'; but, the pennies in the Wallets will always generate new users to 'keep the economy going'. That's all that's needed to keep Steemit legal; proof that it's a viable business, which can be written off as losses on the taxes.
Peace.
"Especially the reading audience" True as heaven:-)
The fact is that a very less people are supported here. Few of the whales are up-voting themselves. How the hell this thing is going to work if an author who is writing here with the intention to feed his stomach , is not getting attention he deserves .A reader who is not getting support from the team to carry on his daily transactions. I mentioned before " Blogging on Steemit is like getting cents for your 2-3 hours job especially if you are not a marketing guy"
Absolutely! That's why I want to invite many wonderful authors who are tired of this swamp to a beautiful new world that we have to create together.
Let's do good for ourselves! And let others use it!
okay i want to join also it seems great media project.
i joint your discord channel
you should check out @yensesa they are also working to make steemit profitable for as many users as possible.
they have a highly profitable voting service that beats any bot out there. No Bids needed and they offer upvotes for up to a year!!
Exactly.
Steemit turned into trashflood because it has serious flaw in business model which was exploited by many.
Any discrepancy in effort/profit creates some kind of spam. In terms of effort, that means quality can be easily overrun by junk posting and self-upvoting.
You can clearly see it. Many people here can't write meaningful English sentence, their posts are impossible to read,yet they are extremly popular.
I understand there are people which are not native English speakers, their native language is really different from English (thus being unintuitive to learn), they didn't have good English teachers or started learning at high age by themself. Or they just lack talent for languages.
I myself am pretty bad at English (was quite good but my skills went downhill since highschool as the online communication didn't require strict grammar/syntax).
But I'm not text content creator. And if you like to be one, your English has to be good to succeed in real online business.
On Steemit, it doesn't matter. You can succeed with automated upvotes.
This is correct

How depressing. I used to love writing content here. It was never for money, just seemed like a good platform... which it was, at some point. I dunno what's next. Maybe publish an ebook
Good platform? How is Steemit better than Twitter, Facebook, Instagram? Only that here people were promised to pay for valuable content. But that promise was not fulfilled. That's the problem.
Well I try to make good original content.. ain't for everyone, but I've met some cool people anyway ;)
There is really an easy solution for this. Just don't vote or follow people you know that are manipulating the system. Some of them I just mute.
Yes, I agree with your thought
